SUSPENDED FROM DUTY.
Marshal JOlley Takes AWAY Officer
Hammers Star for Cause.

. W v III
To what straits his political opponents
are put to make capital against Marshal
Jolley may be infrrred from q canard that
was industriously circulated on the streets
yesterday. The rumor was that he had
been arrested for fighting with a police
officer and that he had been placed under
lock and key in Jail. There were other en-
bellishments Of an equally absurd charac-
ter, which are unnecessary to be retailed.
The simple facts in the case, on investiga-
ton, are these: Officer Hammer came to
the City Hall yesterday morning and began
to abuse Acting Chief Smith and Officer
Jordan by obscene and offensive language.
He dared anyone to remove his star and
otherwise acted in a manner unbe-
coming his position. Acting Chief Smith
went down Park street and meeting Marshal
Jolley told him what had occurred,
Marshal Jolley said that be
had been going on this way,
violating the rules of the department,
too long and he would have to remove OF
ficer Hammers star as he had already
brought disgrace upon the d department. by
appearing intoxicated upon duty. He met
Hammer in front of Chris Hauser's saloon,
where Mr.. Hauser and Mira. Huffman saw
the whole transaction and verified this &C.
count. Marshal Jolley asked Hammer
quietly for his star, telling him that he
could not have a mao remain under him
and misconduct himself as he was doing.
Hammer replied insultingly refusing to sur
render the t and saying be would like to
see any man take his badge from him. As
there was no other way to get it Jollev
seized Hammer by the arm and
threw him and as he was
falling he snatched the star and whistle
from Hammer, and that ended it.. By.
ISLANDERS were OF the opinion the Marshal
ought to have incarcerated Hammer, as
he deserved it by his language, which was
extremely disrespectful to his su perior.
There cannot be the slightest question
about the Marshal's right to suspend an
officer Tor cause. The Office would be I'M
tenable it it were otherwise. An ex-Mar.
sna', speaking Of the affair, said as much
and upheld Jolley's action completely. 40
the weak effort to show Jolley up in a false
light falls to the ground.

Butte has reached a position of import
ance and influence among the cities of the
West when it becomes the imperative duty
Of her citizens to confide her constantly
growing interests into the hands of mono
but intelligent, responsible men. Recogniz-
ing this fact the Democracy of Butte,
through it's regularly constituted represent
tatives in convention assembled, placed
before the electors Of the city a ticket COM
posed OF some of the most enterprising,
influential and intelligent gentlemen Of the
place. A better one could not be selected
and every candidate upon it should be
elected.

a drunken policeman yesterday forenoon.
Under the circumstances he could not
have done otherwise without laying him
self open to censure. His course will be
commended by all the fair-minded, law and
order citizens OF Butte. A policeman who
gets drunk and becomes loud and bolster
GUS upon the street should be deprived Of
his star and be deposed from his Office.

The Democratic ticket for Aldermen is
composed OF some of the most enterprising.

in the hands OF such men. They will guard
It's every interest with jealous care and

An attempt is being made by a few mar

against DR.. Reins on the ground that he

facts in this matter are these. Several
years ago Mr.. Reins leased ground to some

Joss house. 1t is still there and he is get.

would like to see every Chlnaman in Butte
out OF the country, but he has worked
long and hard for what little he has and,
like a sensible business man. he proposes
to turn his possessions to the best advant-
age. There il not a man in the city who
would do otherwise.

Sassing Chinese Don't Pay.

Michael O'Garrity was passing along
Quartz st, eet on Friday afternoon, and
seeing a Chinaman standing in a doorway,
he couldn't resist the opportunity pre-
sented OF expressing his opinion OF the Tar
tar race in general and this Mongolian
laundryman in particular. The sentiment
aroused the ire OF the Celestial and he
started after the Hibernian with an open
axe. The sight OF this bloodthirsty weapon
caused Mr.. O'Garrity to take unto himself
the wings of the wind aud he never stopped
running till he brought up at Justice Lip
pincott's temple of Justice. where he pro-
cured a warrant for the heathen's arrest,
which Mr.. Engel attended to instanter and
had the almond-eyed on deck before court
adjourned. The evidence was brief and so
completely against Mr.. O'Garrity that
Judge Lippincott dismissed his complaint
and assessed Mr.. O'G. SIS Tor malicious
prosecution which will entail a residence by
him in Sheriff Lloyd's donjon keep for a
period OF nine days.
